Progress and value of radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer / 国际肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

With the innovation of radiotherapy equipment and the promotion of targeted therapy and immunotherapy,the therapeutic mode and status of radiotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)are constantly changing. For early NSCLC,stereotactic radiotherapy may be an alternative to surgery,but the optimal segmentation model still needs to be explored. As for locally advanced NSCLC,postoperative radio-therapy is still controversial for operable patients,the results of consolidated immunotherapy after concurrent chemoradiotherapy in inoperable patients are encouraging,prophylactic cranial irradiation does not improve sur-vival. Local radiotherapy for patients with oligometastasis is expected to prolong survival.
